Abstract: A device which facilitates the user's grasp and ability to lift a weight when the hand is oriented in a palm down position. The invention comprises a grip member which the user grasps in an overhand fashion. Also provided is a rest member which is adapted to support, and distribute, a load on the back of the user's hand. A structure is provided which allows the grip member, as it is grasped by the user and the device is lifted in an upward direction, to move towards the rest member until the back of the user's hand firmly contacts the rest member. Once the back of the user's hand is contacting the rest member, the back of the hand is providing the support for the load, rather than the thumb and the fingers, but yet the grasp of the fingers and thumb keep the device in the proper position.
